I have not kept up with 2.4.0 development at all. I see that Linus has officially released 2.4.0. Alan has also release 2.4.0-ac1. What is the status of ppc support in either of these kernels?Don't bother with kernel.org, Alan's tree is better but not fully merged. 2_3 bk is fine, 2_5 bk will be merged up shortly. http://www.fsmlabs.com/linuxppcbk.html
it would really be more useful if a unified patch against the 2.4.0 on kernel.org could be made available somewhere (penguinppc.org) to create a cleaned up, merged finalized 2.4.0-powerpc without requiring [ordinary] people to fiddle with the proprietary bk. either that or finish merging with alan and tell people to use the -ac series. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
